Lighting Academy is a lighting training programme promoted by the Targetti Foundation and organized by Targetti Sankey S.p.A.
Designing light is no longer a technical subtlety at the margins of an architectural project, but is a fundamental and integral part of it that lends high added value. This need, by now well-rooted in our market, calls for professional, competitive responses and knowledge not only of lighting techniques but also understanding of the cultural, psychological, and perceptive aspects of lighting.
Lighting is not only a technical problem and a necessity, but above all, a great opportunity that offers the designer greater freedom in expressing his creativity, and the client a precious support tool for achieving his business objectives.
The Lighting Academy training program offers a structured, qualified learning itinerary for all those interested in acquiring the knowledge necessary for more correct and efficacious use of light in their projects.
Courses are offered at different levels:
1. Basic courses: provide the essential information for a more aware and effective use of light.
2. Workshops: offer specialized training for specific applications.
The teaching method is based on an intensive program of classroom lessons, laboratory work, workshops and case studies presented by experts and final tests.
The teaching is done in cooperation with the Istituto Nazionale di Ottica Applicata, universities, members of the major lighting design associations, and professionals from Italian and international lighting companies.
The courses are hosted at Villa La Sfacciata in Florence (Italy), that is the headquarter of the Targetti Foundation. La Sfacciata is a 15th century Villa nearby the Certosa monastery. It extends 2000 square meters and is equipped with:
- 100 seat multimedia auditorium
- 24 seat classroom
- Lighting Technology Laboratory
- Computer room with 10 stations for computerized calculations and simulations
- Meeting room and library
The Lighting Academy programme is accessible on-line at www.lightingacademy.org, the Portal of light, the first international digital magazine entirely dedicated to light and its protagonists.

CORSO BASE DI ILLUMINAZIONE DI AMBIENTI INTERNI
Prima edizione: 8,9,10,11 marzo 2006
Seconda edizione: 18,19,20,21 ottobre 2006
La Luce assume un ruolo fondamentale per la realizzazione di un progetto: da un punto di vista funzionale, in quanto è l'elemento in grado di garantire la visione, ma soprattutto perché rappresenta un fattore determinante per la creazione di un ambiente ad alto valore aggiunto.
Questo corso vuole offrire una panoramica sulle nozioni fondamentali per una corretta illuminazione degli ambienti interni, fornendo gli insegnamenti tecnico scientifici per una più consapevole progettazione illuminotecnica e mettendo i partecipanti in contatto con professionisti di successo in grado di trasmettere le proprie esperienze.
La metodologia didattica consiste in:
- lezioni teoriche: per fornire le nozioni tecnico-scientifiche di base
- laboratori: per essere aggiornati e sperimentare le tecnologie presenti sul mercato attraverso le loro prestazioni e il confronto tra di esse
- casi di studio: analisi di progetti tipo dove professionisti autorevoli presentano e analizzano le loro esperienze progettuali più significative, mostrando le problematiche che caratterizzano determinate tipologie di ambiente, le soluzioni trovate ed i risultati ottenuti.
Gli argomenti:
- Psicofisica della Visione
- Le sorgenti luminose
- Laboratorio sulle qualità cromatiche delle sorgenti
- Luce naturale: metodi di valutazione e controllo
- Gli apparecchi di illuminazione
- Laboratorio sugli apparecchi di illuminazione
- Il progetto illuminotecnico: approccio metodologico
- Le basi del calcolo illuminotecnica
- Software di calcolo
- Analisi di progetti illuminotecnici in ambienti specifici: musei, chiese, spazi commerciali ed uffici
- Luce e teatro
Docenti: L'attività didattica è svolta da docenti universitari, ricercatori dell'Istituto Nazionale di Ottica Applicata, liberi professionisti aderenti alle maggiori associazioni di lighting designer, personale di industrie d'illuminazione nazionali ed internazionali.
Lingua: italiana
Il costo: 600 Euro + IVA. Include materiale didattico, servizio di prenotazione alberghiera, servizio di trasferimento dall'albergo selezionato alla sede del corso, pranzo e pause caffè.

WORKSHOP NIGHTSCAPE: THE LIGHT OF THE CITY
With Roger Narboni
24-25-26-27 May 2006
Light can stimulate and provide incentive for meeting, for interaction, for social aggregation, the true resource and the future of the city. Artificial light at night not only redraws the architecture of urban spaces but also can infuse them with new life if designed to make the spaces safe and welcoming. There are places in a city - streets, large and small squares, parks and gardens - especially those outside the center and having no real historical, artistic, or monumental attractions, that are well-loved by the inhabitants but in the main ignored by administrators and visitors passing through the city. Their valorization is usually not contemplated in the works plans voted by the city governments, which for reasons of external promotion of the image of the city are more interested in concentrating their urban improvement actions in a few central areas. However these other areas, well-loved and yet unknown, are true centers of positive energy for the city, since they favor spontaneous aggregation and social interaction; this vocation can be reinforced and extended into the nighttime hours, with light.
Can illumination of the city become an efficacious urban policy tool? Through development of a lighting project for several public spaces in the Town of Scandicci, near Florence, the professionals from all around the world who will be participating in the Workshop under the expert guidance of the French lighting designer Roger Narboni will be asked to give a positive response to this query. The Workshop will be a special occasion for examining the role of artificial light as a “light-handed” tool and at the same time one that can have great impact in transforming or reinforcing the potential of urban spaces through suitable planning. Scandicci is a modern small center in the Florence metropolitan area. Its population is for the most part young and characterized by a strong vocation for everything contemporary; it is a town to man’s measure, capable of putting forth audacious proposals in the fields of both urban planning and culture. Selection of the spaces that will be studied during the Workshop will be based on work of analysis and mapping to be conducted before the Workshop by a working group of students of the Academia delle Belle Arti, ISIA, and the Faculty of Architecture involved in the course entitled “Laboratory. The methods and techniques of the urban event” coordinated by Teatro Studio of Scandicci. This preliminary work will provide the Workshop participants with information and thorough documentation on the contexts in which they will be intervening at the project level.
